A price is only worth anything once a real diagnosis confirms it. Here is what sets our estimate apart.
Your media is analysed in our own lab in Brussels — not shipped abroad.
From diagnosis to return, you deal directly with the person working on your media.
The estimate above is a starting point. The firm price is set after the free diagnosis and validated by you before we start.
You only pay for recovery if your files are recovered.
Find the row that matches your situation. Each failure type calls for a different approach — and one mistake to avoid before handing us the media.
| Failure type | Typical symptoms | Success rate | Mistake to avoid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Logical failure (HDD/SSD) 270–500 € HT | Missing files or partition, media asks to be formatted, files visible but unreadable | 90% | Keep writing to the media or run Recuva / TestDisk / EaseUS |
| HDD electronic failure 270–600 € HT | Drive won't power up, no start, burnt smell after a power surge | 98% | Swap the board (PCB) yourself — firmware is unique to each drive |
| HDD mechanical failure 360–870 € HT | Clicking or knocking drive, spins but not detected | 87% | Power the drive back on — every spin worsens the scoring |
| SSD — firmware / controller 400–740 € HT | SSD empty after an update, 0 capacity, not detected | 75% | Run a secure erase or a reset |
| SSD — wear / NAND / surge 400–880 € HT | Not detected, read errors, after a power surge | 58% | Plug / unplug repeatedly — TRIM erases permanently |
| Degraded RAID / NAS 490–1020 € HT / drive | One drive down, volume degraded but still accessible | 95% | Launch an automatic rebuild on a suspect drive |
| RAID / NAS — lost config 620–2250 € HT / drive | Volume inaccessible, array won't mount, several drives in error | 87% | Reassemble or reset the array yourself |
| Ransomware (NAS / server) 650–1590 € HT / drive | Encrypted files, changed extensions, ransom note | 54% | Delete snapshots or pay the ransom before analysis |
| Smartphone (drop / water) 260–850 € HT | Black screen, won't turn on, visible corrosion | 73% | Put it in rice or try to charge it — corrosion continues |
| USB stick / SD card 270–750 € HT | Not recognised, broken connector, asks to be formatted | 83% | Accept the format prompt from Windows |
Average success rates observed in the lab, for guidance only and with no guarantee on a specific case. Every case is unique: real feasibility is confirmed by the free diagnosis.
Most permanent losses happen after the failure, from one wrong move. Before handing us your media:
Each read attempt on a failing mechanical drive can worsen the damage irreversibly.
Recuva, TestDisk, EaseUS, Disk Drill are built for simple logical failures. On a physical failure they force the media and can make data unrecoverable.
Rice does not absorb the water inside the components: corrosion continues. Power the phone off and do not charge it.
Condensation on thawing short-circuits the electronics and corrodes the platters. It is a dangerous myth.
Firmware is unique to each hard drive: an 'identical' PCB is not compatible and complicates recovery.
Power the server off, note the drive order and touch nothing. A rebuild can overwrite the other members’ data.
The golden rule: the less you intervene, the better your odds. When in doubt, unplug and hand the media to a lab.
Yes. The analysis that determines the failure and recovery feasibility is free and without commitment. You get a firm price before any work.
Because the price depends on the real state of the media, known only after the diagnosis. The range gives you a frame; the firm price is set after analysis and validated by you before we start.
Not without your agreement. The firm price is given after the free diagnosis and only charged after your validation. Nothing is committed without your go-ahead.
No data recovered, no recovery charge. That is the No Cure, No Pay principle.
No. Urgent handling carries no surcharge with us.
Yes. It is diagnosed and handled in our lab in Brussels.
Belgium Data Recovery is a data recovery lab in Brussels, operating since 2012. The diagnosis is free and you only pay if we succeed (No Cure, No Pay).
Indicative prices excl. VAT, confirmed after the diagnosis: hard drive from 270 €, SSD from 360 €, USB stick / SD card from 270 €, smartphone from 260 €, NAS from 490 € / drive, RAID from 620 € / drive.
Media handled: hard drive, SSD, RAID, NAS, smartphone, USB stick and memory card. Diagnosis confirmed in our lab in Brussels, no rush surcharge.
Every case — diagnosis, quote and recovery — is handled personally by Takhir Saidov in his Brussels lab since 2012. No call centre, no middleman: you deal directly with the person working on your media, and the price is explained to you transparently.

More about the lab →Mr. Saidov is truly the best in his field (data/file recovery) thanks to his extensive experience. His work is efficient, professional, thorough, and meticulous! He takes the time to explain the procedure and provides excellent advice to prevent future problems (my hard drive crashed after 10 years of use). After a two-week wait, I recovered almost all my data for a very reasonable price compared to other companies that sometimes charge double! I wholeheartedly recommend Belgium Data Recovery for recovering your data (hard drives, USB drives, microSD cards, etc.). A huge thank you!
A very serious and competent company; they provided me with a quote quickly, after diagnosing the hard drive, at a more than fair price, especially considering the severity of the problem. I received my data the next day. Mr. Saidov was always available, attentive, and very transparent about the procedures performed.
Of course, the price isn't cheap, but it's the going rate, without any unpleasant surprises. On the other hand, the patient welcome, impeccable service, clear explanations, and speed of the work struck me as exceptional. Professional work that inspires confidence. In short, a valuable address, where I will return if needed.
Real interventions, from failure to result.
Failure : A 2 TB Seagate ST2000LM007 that started clicking and was no longer detected. Abnormal noise on power-up, urgent recovery.
Work done : Opened in an ISO 5 cleanroom, head stack replaced with a compatible donor set, then platters imaged and data extracted on a PC-3000 bench.
Result : Data recovered and returned to the client.
Failure : 256GB iPhone 12 Pro with corrosion-damaged motherboard, broken screen, phone wouldn't turn on. Photos and personal data to be recovered.
Work done : Corrosion cleaning, motherboard repair (micro-soldering) and screen replacement, then data extraction from the phone.
Result : Data recovered and returned to the client.
Failure : A Synology DS920+ NAS (RAID 5, 4×4 TB) with two of its four disks failed: the volume no longer mounted and the data was inaccessible. A RAID 5 normally survives only a single disk failure.
Work done : Imaging of both failed disks, analysis of the failure chronology (to identify the last active disk), virtual reconstruction of the RAID 5, then extraction of all the data.
Result : Data recovered and returned to the client.
Free diagnosis, fixed price, payment only upon success. One call is enough to find out.
